damselfish in anemone

[alex13177]

My domino damselfish likes to stay in my bulb anemone. Isn't the anemone bad for damselfish. Doesn't the anemone stings the damselfish. I thought only clown fish can stay in the anemone. I think my damselfish is ashamed to stay in the anemone because whenever I get close to the tank, the fish would swim out of the anemone and disappear. this is just funny to me. What do y'all think about this?

Don't worry D. trimaculatus (Domino Damsels) are known to host in E. quads (Bubble Tip Anemones). Both fish and anemone will be fine.

Actually, clown fish are members of the damsel fish group.
Certain groups of damsel fishes are considered anemone fish.
Damsel fish of the genus Dascylis (domino, 3-stripe, 4-stripe, etc.) are anemone fish. How many other genera sold as "damsel fishes" can be considered anemone fish I'm not to sure. Anyone know?
